Guest Will Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 I have a very strange looking folder under my C:\WINDOWS folder, which if it is not a trojan then it must be some kind of device driver install that went very bad. I would like help identifying what it might be. The folder is named: C:\WINDOWS\EFUZEJYDIXC1AZ4D and it contains copies of many Windows system files. The contents of this folder are posted here: http://pages.uschw.com/usenet/EFUZEJ-folde...er-contents.txt Of special note is a logfile in that folder whose name and contents are linked here: http://pages.uschw.com/usenet/EFUZEJ-folder/sthdae.log You may want to open that logfile in an editor other than NOTEPAD that can hand LF only at the end of each line. Word 2003 opened it fine here. In that logfile I see attempts to add device drivers, that are failing with various messages about an invalid pin. That almost looks like Bluetooth? What I find most suspicious about this folder is that it copies over so many critical Windows system files. Why would any device installation need its own private copies of those files? -- Will Quote
